The tastiest pizza!!!! Owner is so kind and talks to us like we're family. The kids love it too. Only downside no beer but I'm sure that'll come along later

Fantastic pizzas! I tried Benji's pizzas with 5 other pizza restaurants to cater at our wedding and Benji stood out by the breadth of pizza options and the quality of their ingredients and recipes. they use gas and wood fire pizza ovens, which give a great taste to the pizzas. The staff was welcoming too. Definitely not your standard pizza restaurant!

Benji's is a prime example of why a wood-fired pizza is better. The pizza I just enjoyed here, the all-meat Carnivore, was delicious and flawlessly prepared due to the woodfire oven and periodic rotation. The high temperatures from the oven result in a richer-flavored pizza with an incredible crust. Since the high heat of a wood-fired oven cooks a pizza in fewer minutes, this allows the toppings to retain more nutrients, natural sugars, colors, and freshness. No dried-out or limp toppings here. The intense heat from the wood also adds a subtle smokiness. The high heat also creates the perfect crust that is crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The intense heat from the oven walls helps seal in moisture in the crust and gives it that slight char. Constant rotation of the pizzas while in the oven allows them to cook more evenly and the air in motion will help the dough to rise and create that fluffiness. I seldom get a pizza packed with such flavor, and authentic looking while this healthy and fresh. The Carnivore is made with San Marzano red sauce, mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, bacon, and sausage. The red sauce was also spot-on: sweet, tangy, balanced, and fresh. There are 17 pizza choices. There are meat and meatless options but meat toppings can be added to any. Aside from the traditional Italian meats, there is chicken and shrimp. The Bianco and Hot Honey Ricotta are their two most popular choices. The 12" medium and 24" family style are the two pizza sizes. Pesto prosciutto or tomato basil sandwiches, Benji fries, fried mozzarella puffs, garlic rosemary bread, and chicken wings round out their menu. My pizza was amazing! Most patrons are true devotees who appreciate a great, authentic pizza prepared the traditional way in a wood fire oven.

We were introduced to Benji's Woodfire Pizza by some good friends. Benji's is a family-owned business that is passionate about sharing their family's recipes. They are super friendly, funny, and hospitable! The restaurant has both inside and outside seating availability. The decor is simple but modern with b/w photos. One restroom only (funny and clever sayings in there). The oven's top degree was 500°+ with the floor temperature 770° degree oven. It was impressive that it was self-rotating. Regardless it was churning out some delicious hot pizzas! Benji's Bites: fried puffs, marinara, fresh mozzarella, basil, parmesan (4/5). The puffs were crispy yet chewy inside. The toppings were classic Italian. Pepperoni Pizza (12" medium): San Marzano red sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella (4.5/5). Simply classic. The little pepperoni curls up and puddles with the reddish oil that most people would wipe up, but it's so good. Just the right amount. Bianco (12" medium): olive oil, mozzarella, ricotta, fig preserves, arugula, proccuito, balsamic glaze (4/5). This unique flavor mixes savory with sweet. The savory from the cheeses and meat coupled with the sweet from the fig preserves and balsamic glaze. Their pizza crust is all flame kissed which gives it a nice charred look and also provides the crunch a good pizza has. Yet the crust was slightly thick, which was airy and chewy in a good way. Only canned sodas, perrier & bottled water. Overall, 4.5 stars, rounding up because they were very friendly and loved their passion. Come support this local business! They've only been open since Dec 8, 2023.

Walked in and it smells so good and it was so clean. The pizza was great the pizza crust was tender and crispy definitely will be back. So glad to have this in the Citrus Heights neighborhood Staff friendly A++ keep it up

Absolutely love this shop and all they stand for. Hard work, dedication to a very specific and unique craft, and an amazing finished product. I am always looking for pizza shops and of course, wood fired pizza is a favorite amongst all connoisseurs of the crusty goodness. We found this place on a Friday night after running errands and couldn't wait to try it out. The shop is cozy the vibe in the air is very friendly and welcoming and the aroma of dough soaks the air. Such a wonderful start. We ordered the medium prosciutto pie and it was a thing of beauty. Salty, fresh prosciutto, peppery fresh arugula and the ooey gooey burrata dolloped strategically across the top. A lovely drizzle of balsamic vinegar syrup and that's it. The fired crust is chewy and delicious. The perfect char but still allowing for the gluten to shine and the texture of the crust is exceptional. Perfect bite of salty and sweet and peppery goodness. Benji's bites are insanely good. The canvas is a savory pastry bread that is part pizza crust and part baked goods. Very funky texture that I absolutely love!! Sauced just right and the pop of basil is nice as well. We met the man behind the operation and he was super cool. Very kind and humble man and I want us to help continue to grow and expand. Drop in for an amazing pizza pie experience and chat with the good peeps running the show.

After watching a movie, we decided to have pizza. We don't know the area and as always we Yelped. Yelp lead us to a great wood-fire pizza place like only my fellow Yelpers can do! Service was excellent. The owner even described his wood-fire oven to me. It's pretty cool and one of a kind. Everybody was friendly and made very good recommendations. Food was mouthwatering and Yummy to a capital Y. Thin, Wood-fire pizza at its best. We had the Hot Honey Ricotta; just the right amount of spice. And the Benji's bites were delicious and really hit the spot at the end Ambiance is very comfortable and you can smell the wood burning in the oven but not overwhelming. Do yourself a favor and try Benji's Wood-fire Pizza. You will not be disappointed; bring the whole family.

Back for a third time and once again, super pleased with the pizza quality. It's a new mission now to try a different pizza every time we come.

Benji's! This place is one of a kind. Grandkids suggested the pizza, a little away from the house. From what I understand, the place was working from a food truck before they opened the brick and mortar. This pizza deserves a higher ranking 5+ I have visited many in the area and this was definitely one of the best. We settled for a family size 1/2 cheese and 1/2 pepperoni. I know, bland. The pizza was so very delicious. We will be back to try something different. Friendly staff was a great addition!

Benji, short for Benjamin, which means "son of my right hand". Also, pertaining to "father of the fatherless", Andre the owner explains why this pizza business is called as such. Friendly crew to state the obvious. With a seating of probably 20 people inside, this brick & mortar location isn't exactly pretty for photos. Decor kept simple with a few neon signs for accent. The menu is displayed via a wide screen. No alcohol available, just Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper, Snapple Peach Tea, Bottled Water and Perrier Sparkling Water for drinks. No house water is available, so we settled for my wife's water bottle (not a Stanley). We ordered two 12" pies and one 24" long family pie to-go and 8 pcs of wings. 1. Hot Honey Ricotta and Shroomin' (half and half). No need for additional parmesan and chili flakes. The bestseller being the Hot Honey. 2. Hawaii. Wife's order. Never got the taste for pineapple with pizza, but she apparently liked it. 3. His Margherita. Burrata (Italian mozarella and cream) and cherry tomatoes to diversify from a regular margherita. 4. Mango Habanero Wings. Spicy, crispy and savory chicken wings, which reminded me of good Korean FC. Bill came out to $140 without the tip. Half of our dine-in food we boxed to-go. The Long Family sized za had to be packed in two boxes BTW. Excellent pizza, which reminded us of genuine Neapolitan baking. As for returning, I'll end with an invisible quote from Arnie's T800.
